Chapter 1658 – The Final Item II
*****“What?!”“A private island?”The reaction was completely different from before.Some of them had initially assumed that the document itself contained some hidden secret or extraordinary opportunity. After all, why would the Celestial Pearl build so much anticipation around a simple piece of paper?But an ownership document for a private island?Inside one of the private chambers, an elderly A-rank fighter who had been reclining lazily on a throne-like chair finally sat forward.He had spent most of the auction looking like an emperor who had merely tolerated the existence of everyone else in the room.Now, however, his brows had drawn together.He slowly turned his gaze toward the man standing beside him.“Is this the so-called information?”His voice was too calm, so much so that the right-hand man beside him, an upper B-rank fighter, immediately felt his heart sink.“Our… our intelligence indicated that this opportunity was priceless,” he stammered.His back was already covere
Chapter 1657 – The Final Item
*****“There is only one item remaining.”The auctioneer’s voice echoed throughout the hall once again, soft, calm, and devoid of emotion.Yet this time, something beneath that composure was different. There was a weight to her words that immediately caught the attention of everyone in the auction house.She paused for a moment before continuing.“This is also the reason many of the VIP guests traveled thousands of miles to board the Celestial Pearl.”The moment those words fell, the atmosphere changed.The cultivators in the Lower Realm exchanged puzzled looks. A few furrowed their brows, while others leaned toward the stage in confusion.Most of them had assumed the wealthy and powerful people from the Upper Realm had simply come for the auction's rare treasures. After all, the items sold tonight had already been extraordinary enough to justify an expensive journey.But if the auctioneer was saying there was a specific reason so many of those people had traveled such a long distance
Chapter 1656 – The Last Herb
*****With each herb that was sold, the disappointment in Xavier’s eyes became more apparent.The herbs being presented were rare and valuable, but they were not what he needed. One after another, they slipped into the hands of other cultivators while Xavier could only watch from his seat.His patience gradually wore thin.Eventually, he leaned back and closed his eyes.‘Looks like I’ll have to find the last herb somewhere else.’The thought left him deeply dissatisfied.He had not come to the Celestial Pearl’s Grand Auction merely to spend money or collect treasures. His true purpose had been to obtain the herbs required to concoct the rejuvenation potion for his parents.The Everdusk Bloom had been one of the remaining ingredients.But the final herb was still missing.Just as Xavier was preparing to abandon hope of finding it at the auction, the auctioneer’s voice suddenly rang throughout the hall.“The next item is a two-hundred-year-old Blueheart Lotus.”Xavier’s breathing hitche
Chapter 1655 – Relief In The Auction House
*****For a moment, the entire auction house fell so quiet that if someone who was completely deaf had walked through the doors right now, they might have assumed the massive hall was completely empty.Every cultivator and attendant froze.Even the A-rank powerhouses who had remained composed throughout the earlier chaos were momentarily stunned into silence.“I… I think my ears have started playing tricks on me,” a raspy voice finally emerged from somewhere in the crowd.Another person swallowed hard. “I… I couldn't have heard that correctly.”A third voice trembled with disbelief.“Did he… just raise the bid from $30 million to… $350 million?”The speaker sounded as though saying the number aloud might somehow make it less ridiculous.It didn't.“This is crazy!”The quiet disbelief rapidly transformed into an uproar.Voices erupted from every direction, overlapping one another until the auction house became deafening.The roar was so tremendous that the massive cruise ship itself se
Chapter 1654 – $350 Million Bid
*****At $150 million, the auction hall gradually fell quiet again.No one in the Upper Realm raised the bid.Not because the ring was worthless.Quite the opposite.The Nine-Petal Lotus Ring was extraordinarily valuable.But this was only the first item of the second phase.There were still more treasures waiting to appear, and no matter how useful the ring was, they couldn't exhaust hundreds of millions on a single item and then watch something even more valuable slip through their fingers.One by one, the representatives withdrew.Yet before doing so, they all looked toward Xavier.Those gazes were no longer merely mocking.They were cold, heavy, and filled with murderous intent.Xavier met none of them.He simply sat there calmly, as though spending $150 million at an auction were nothing more remarkable than ordering another cup of tea.The auctioneer looked around the hall, waited for another bid, and finally raised her voice.“$150 million going once.”No response.“Going twice
Chapter 1653 – The Number One Enemy
*****She studied him with the playful intensity of someone examining an unfamiliar piece on a chessboard, wondering what would happen if she pushed it a little further.“The only conclusion,” she continued slowly, “is that he is either a fool who doesn't know when to back down…”Her smile widened.“…or he has something he relies on.”Her subordinates exchanged cautious glances, each of them understanding exactly what was happening.They had served her for long enough to know that whenever their mistress became genuinely interested in something, peace usually became the first casualty.This level of curiosity was even more dangerous because the Demoness rarely became this intrigued without eventually turning her interest into entertainment.Their gazes slowly shifted toward Xavier, brimming with genuine pity.‘Blame yourself for catching the mistress’s interest.’Just as the subordinates were thinking this, the Demoness spoke again.“Little brother, are you really sure you want to bid
